Leopard in the Snow Gives Backcountry Skiers a Fright

How’d you like to encounter this leopard in the snow while you’re skiing down a slope?

This video was uploaded to Vimeo days ago, and it depicts what appears to be a large snow leopard crouched down in the powdery slope while onlooking skiers and snowboarders snap photos and freak out a bit.

Of all the things backcountry skiers come across, this has to be one of the more rare.

WARNING: Strong language used in the video.

Would that have been your last run of the day, or what?

The clip was recorded during a guided group session with Bill’s Trips, a ski and snowboard adventure company, in Gulmarg, Kashmir, India.
